Tap. Tap. Tap

Rey's fingers tapped slowly on the wooden desk, his mind wondering. He managed to stop Stellar from telling Cagalli about what happened in the past, but he was still worried that she would continue to explain to Cagalli; meaning that he had to watch her carefully.

"I can't let her find out…," Rey muttered to himself. Since he was busy thinking, he didn't here Rau come in.

"Hello, Rey." Rau greeted with a grin. Rey jumped but the faced him with a cold glare. "What do you want?" he demanded.

"I was just wondering how you were doing," Rau replied simply, but Rey knew there as something more, but decided to ignore it and stare at the window. Silence was between the two until Rau asked, "Were you able to stop her?"

"Why would you want to know?" Rey asked coldly.

"Because I have the right to."

"Well I did, is there more you want to know?" Rey stared at the masked man with an arched eyebrow.

"Yes, why are you so grumpy?" Rau asked.

"Because you're bothering me!" Rey shot back as he continued to stare at the moon.

Rau grinned at stood next to the boy. He bent down to his ear and whispered, "Maybe you forgot who created you…"

Rey stood up and faced him with an angry look, "Look, I don't care if YOU created me. I AM grateful to you for taking care of me though, but I am NOT in the mood to talk."

"When I ask you a question, I expect that you answer in a polite way," Rau said rather darkly. Rey shook a bit, he was scared of Rau because of a few reasons. Rau walked up to him and touched his forehead. "Maybe this will help you remember…"

"STOP IT!"

Flashback

"Where…am…I?" a young Rey asked as he got up from the ground. He looked around and found himself wrapped in darkness.

"Good Evening, Rey." said a voice. Rey looked around a saw a man with a mask on coming out of a dark portal.

"My…name is Rey?" the young boy asked, pointing at himself. The man nodded, "You may call me, Rau."

"…Rau," Rey repeated slowly. The man nodded once again.

"Rau, where are we?"

"You are in darkness," he replied simply.

"Darkness?" Rey asked with an odd look.

"Yes. You are made from the darkness, so am I." Rau grinned. Rey jumped from shock, "What do you mean I'm made from darkness?"

"You were made by our master, Gilbert Dullundal. When he was destroyed, the darkness in his heart, along with the others, created me. So, you could say I'm a part of Gil." Rau explained. "And you too are made from him."

"But WHY was I made?" Rey demanded.

"To continue his work!" Rau laughed, "He knew that I couldn't do it alone, so he made you! You could say, that you and I were…experiments." he grinned. Rey held himself, did this mean he wasn't real?

"Then…I'm not…real…" he whispered, but Rau heard him.

"That's right. You're not a NORMAL psychic, you are darkness itself."

"And you're proud of it?" Rey asked.

"Well, yes. Because I have this amazing power, and you are sort of like my…sidekick." he replied, still grinning.

"…what's going on!" Rey shouted as his dark aura started scattering across the room like flying needles. Rau protected himself by making a shield. When the attack was gone, Rey fell to the floor, panting. "I'm not just an experiment…I'm normal…ain't I?" he asked himself. Rau walked towards him and held him up by his arm. "Don't worry. You'll enjoy being like me." Rau said. "I…don't want this…" Rey cried before he blacked out.

End Flashback

"I…am not just an experiment…I'm…Rey…" Rey kept repeating this until he fell to the floor. Whenever Rau showed him that flashback, Rey would breakdown because he doesn't want to remember what he was.

"So you better start listening and be more respectful." Rau warned before leaving the room.

"I'm…a normal person…right?" Rey asked himself as tears fell from his eyes to the floor. He hated whenever Rau reminded him who he was. So he stared at the closed door with his teeth clenched, 'bastard…'

"Cagalli! There you are!" exclaimed Lacus as she ran to the dazed blond.

"Huh? Oh! Hey Lacus!" Cagalli greeted in a fake enthusiastic voice. Lacus arched an eyebrow, "Cagalli, are you alright?"

"Yeah!" Cagalli replied.

"Cagalli. You were thinking of something, weren't you?" Lacus asked.

"…yeah." Cagalli replied bluntly.

"What's wrong?" Lacus asked innocently. She took Cagalli to a nearby sofa and the two talked.

"It's just…this spirit inside me, Stellar. She was explaining everything to me about the past and what happened to her and Shinn, but then someone tried to destroy her from my dreams before Stellar can explain to me anything else!" Cagalli explained.

"Stellar? You mean Shinn's lover?" questioned Lacus. Cagalli nodded.

"So, what did she tell you?" Lacus asked again.

"…that…Kira and I maybe in danger because of this 'darkness' thing." Cagalli replied.

"Anything about the past?"

"Yeah…that this man named Gilbert Dullundal came to this school and nearly turned every student into slaves of the darkness," Cagalli continued, "and that he was destroyed by the first principal, George Glenn."

"George Glenn destroyed him!" Lacus exclaimed.

"Yeah…and that your dad was the youngest principal in the school. When he was just beginning, Stellar and Shinn were students here. Then all these weird things started happening." Cagalli finished.

"Whoa! And my dad didn't tell me ANY of this!" Lacus exclaimed.

"Well, it IS supposed to be top secret." Cagalli reasoned.

"So, what else did she tell you?" the pink-haired girl asked.

"She told me that her powers went out of control because of an 'incident.' And that's it. We were cut out from there."

Lacus pouted, she was getting really into it. She then stood up quickly as she had an idea. "I know!" she said, "I'm gonna look for more info at my dad's office!"

"What?" Cagalli exclaimed, "You could get expelled for invading school property! Even with your dad as principal!"

Lacus winked, "Don't worry about me! I have my ways."

"Lacus…" groaned Cagalli.

"Don't worry. I'll come back to your dorm later tonight with info about Genesis Psychic Academies' secrets!" Lacus then paused and gave a thoughtful look, as if she forgot to mention something. "Oh yeah!" she began, "Athrun said that he needs to talk to you at Kira's dorm!"

"About what?" Cagalli asked.

"Secret. Now if you'll excuse me…" Lacus then walked away to her room as Cagalli walked her way to Kiras'.

----------

Fllay was walking down the hall until she saw Lacus and Cagalli talking about something important. 'What are they talking about?' she thought. She then saw Lacus leaving and Cagalli too. "There hiding something good, an I'm gonna find out what it is." Fllay hid behind the wall as Cagalli walked pass her. Grinning, Fllay followed her to Kira's room.

Cagalli opened the door and saw Athrun sitting next to Kira.

"Athrun?" she called out as it looked like he was deep in thought.

"Huh?" he then glanced up and saw Cagalli looking at him with an awkward look.

"Lacus told me that you wanted to tell me something," she explained.

"Oh yeah!" Athrun remembered. He then told Cagalli to take a seat. She did what she was told and listened carefully.

"Cagalli," he began, "I think Kira is fighting his inner side."

Cagallis' eyes widened, "What?"

"Shinn seems to want control of his body."

"But why would Shinn do that?" Cagalli asked. Athrun shrugged, "I don't know, but maybe Kira is trying to talk to him. Did you have talk with your inner self?" he asked. Cagalli nodded, "She explained some things to me."

"What things?" Athrun asked.

"Well…"

Cagalli explained to Athrun everything Stellar told her. Little did they know, a certain red-headed girl was listening through the door. 'Darkness?'

----------

Lacus was standing in front of her closet. She opened it and took out a black cloak and wrapped it around herself. 'This cloak will only work in darkness…' she thought to herself, meaning that she had to be careful not to go near any light. She was lucky knowing that her dads' office was the darkest place in the academy. The plan was to sneak into the office later on tonight, and that's exactly what she'd do.

----------

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Rey continued to tap his fingers on the desk. He was trying to control himself after the 'Rau incident.' Suddenly, he had this strange feeling, and he knew what it was. Another spirit was trying to make contact with someone, and Rey knew who that person was. He knew what to do.

----------

Kira was sleeping, until a voice disturbed him.

"Who's there?" Kira asked as he woke up.

"Who do you think it is?"

----------

A/n: Ch. 12 is done…whew. Anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter and I hope Rey's flashback wasn't to confusing. I pity Kira, I haven't mentioned him in a while, so he'll be around next chapter.

P.S.

Here's a little spoiler for the final chapter:

Her eyes were slowly closing, she knew what would happen to her. With a weak smile, she said, "Don't worry about me…I'll be alright…" Suddenly, she felt drowsy and unable to move, and her eyes closed completely.
